    I have Pcars and Pcars 2, Pcars3. 2 and 3 work just fine now that you told me what to do to fix it.. But on your to do page for Pcars it says to go to system and put in Pcars1 and so on. I can not find a system category in Pcars. What am I missing? The game work great but not my chair.
    Thanks you for never ending held.

    Hi @yobuddy,
    I've had a thought about a possible addition to V3. If your setting up multiple axes but with the same forces and filtering, it can be time consuming checking the filtering is the same when you have up to 5 forces per axis clicking on the filter button for each then checking the numbers and then pressing exit for what could be 20 filter settings!

    Is it possible to have it so when you hover the mouse over the filter box it shows the filter settings popup? It could be slightly transparent or greyed out until you actually press on the filter button if you want to edit the settings.

    That way you can just move the mouse across the different axes to quickly compare filter settings.

    I hope that makes sense and is possible. :)

    Just a feedback: I got FM via PC game pass. When I double click on the plugin it launches Steam that raises a popup error ("no license")

    You may find that with some game plugins, the path is setup for a different version of the game than what you’re running. To update a launch path for a game plugin, simply drag and drop the games exe or shortcut on the banner for the given game plugin.

    After you do this, it should launch the version you have.
    Please let me know how it goes buddy.
    Take care!

    Traction loss fixed when in 2023 output mode for both the PC and the Console plugin.
    Surge and Traction loss output flipped.

    F12022 output updated for both the PC and the Console game plugin to avoid movement when in the garage.
    Traction loss output flipped.

    Sure, be aware that the axis limiting settings is a global thing and not per profile.
    If you want to PM me some screen shots we can figure out whats going on.
    Take care,

    It's one setting for all games/profiles is all, you can't have different settings per profile, if that is the problem.
    (Set and forget if you will)

    Surge will work nicely for your seatbelt buddy.
    Take care!

    The primary axis would be surge, but you can always mix others in like pitch to loosen up a hill and tighten a bit down a steep hill, or even sway for cornering.
